“Since conception Dave has been outstanding, he gave free advice during the quotation stage, offered local examples of previous work within the village. I spoke to a previous client who gave a glowing recommendation. During the building work Dave has been punctual, neat, caring, supportive but questioning Tom make sure the best solution was being explored to make the build the best it could be. The new kitchen units are of high quality and all work by subcontractors (electrical, plumbing & plastering) have been completed to high standards, overseen by Dave.”

Highlights
“We can’t recommend Dave highly enough! His communication throughout has been excellent. He has gone above and beyond, and showed genuine care and diligence in his work. Dave managed and led all aspects of the works, bringing in and directing all other trades as needed. Dave also provided valuable expertise on design aspects, improving elements based on his considerable experience. On top of all this we found Dave to be friendly, trustworthy, funny and kind. Thoroughly pleased with our lovely new home and so glad we picked Dave to lead this project.”
“Dave and his colleague were prompt, professional and helpful. They explained to us what they were doing at each step and tidied up after themselves each day. Very happy with the workmanship and would happily recommend them to others.”
